Is it compatible?

[Kevin Rodrigues]

Hi guys! I am a 15 year old guy from Sweden (sry for my bad English) and i want to upgrade my PC! I want to buy some new thing and take some stuff from my old PC and i wonder if u guys could tell me if all of theese parts are compatible with each other just to be safe. Here is the specs:

 

New Stuff:

 

 

ASUS GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA Corsair CS 750M, 750W PSU NZXT LEXA S Midi Tower Black Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB BK OEM Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Cooler ASUS P8Z77-V LX, Socket-1155

 

Old Stuff: 

 

 

ATAPI DVD A DH16ABSH

Intel Core i7-3770

And 16 GB Ram that i dont know the exactly name of.

 

And of course some Harddrives and some other stuff that i know is compatible.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for Replying!    //Kevin Rodrigues

Looks fine, the only potential problem is the MB and ram. We need the name to know if it fits.

If you have a 3770, you won't be able to overclock, rendering the h100i almost useless.

[Tech_Dreamer]

looks good to me . post pictures of your build on a later post

yeah pretty much. you can stick with the stock cooler and save 70$ and buy something else, since intel is designed to perfom under load without giving up , you wont notice it anyways.

If you only have the 3770 instead of the 3770k overclocking cant really be done on it so the h100i is a bit useless, if you want to buy it for the way it looks then I suppose it is okay.

just get a 212evo

[Trophywolfe]

yeah if you dont mean the 3770k than get a noctua fan the cooler temps will let it last longer so go for a small noctua fan not the d14 or d15, no need for those

[Kevin Rodrigues]

Thanks for all replies! My old PC is a prebuilt Acer Predator G3610. Its the old model and i dont think it is available to purchase anymore. All i've done is to replace the 7870 GPU with an ASUS  GTX 660 and i putted in a Samsung Evo 840 120 GB. So its the default on everything else. Should i buy new RAM and maybe take the fan thats already in the case?

 

My current PC is not bad at all but i wanted to get that higher FPS and make it more personal.

 

What do u guys think?

Not to be rude but to take advantage of an educational moment: you do not put the -ed for the past tense of "put". Just "put" is fine. If you need English help send a PM to me.

 

 

• As long as the fan mount on the fan and on the case are compatible carry over the fan.
• The CPU will fit in the new case.
• Dude, ATAPI? That is as old as me and will NOT work on the new motherboard since ATAPI was eradicated from the face of the planet.
• Are you sure the CPU is indeed an i7-3770 and not a 3770k?
• Honestly, you don't need an H100i unless you are OCing (not possible on the 3770). Get a Hyper 212 EVO.

Again, send me a PM if you need assistance in English. Take it from the guy who gets high 90s in his English marks.

Im here for tech help, not English lessons. I know that i got the 3770, im not stupid. The ATAPI can be replaced by another so thats not a problem and ive already said that i dont need the H100i. Someone else that wants to say something?

I'm pretty sure that you don't have to change ram. Just for lols, if your old machine is still working, run Speccy or another hardware specs software and check what it says on RAM. If its DDR3 1333 or 1600MHz then you don't really need to get new. That will work just fine. On DVD, thats IDE drive. New mobo won't have connector for it. You are better getting Lite-On or LG DVD drive if you really need one. Also remember to get OS. Your previous will be OEM that is motherboard specific and won't work with new mobo.

Not quite true.

Belarc advisor will provide you with your license key.

You can then install windows on boot USB

Run the repair tool (not repair console) and delete all the old motherboard drivers whilst installing all the new mobo drivers.

Boot into Windows.  Activate windows by phone, read out the license code you got from Belarc Advisor.

Bob's your uncle.

 

Oh keep in mind this only works for non-enterprise, non-volume licenses.

Thanks for this good answer! I found out that my RaM is DDR3 1333. So i just need to change DVD Drive and buy OS. Thank you guys! Think that everything is dont here!

The H100i is useless with a "locked" processor. Save some money and get something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
